Imposizione del Protettore is way more accessible in this tree than it was before. Before it was locked behind Luce dei Titani but now you can pick up Fede nella Luce instead. Fede nella Luce makes spending that GCD on Parola di Gloria just a bit safer especially if you use Holy Power for it.

Speaking of Fede nella Luce, it's actually a viable choice to pick now for some passive damage reduction. It's 15/30% block for 5s after you press Parola di Gloria and in normal play, you'll have ~25% uptime on it or ~7.5% more Block chance.

It's now easier to pick up Santuario for some passive damage reduction while in Consacrazione.

Giudizio del Crociato is now less costly as it's not gated behind a low power 2-point node.

Ostilità Concentrata has been redesigned so it's not as punishing on raid fights with split Single Target and AoE phases. The old version was not playable at all on some bosses this raid tier and the only choice was to take Scudo Crescente or to unspec the node. Now, you can pick up Ostilità Concentrata for some extra single target damage while still maintaining the ability to hold AoE threat.

Luce Intima is back! The beloved Legion Legendary is now back as a talent option to modify Occhio di Tyr and make it the heavy hitter that people remember.

Cooldown reduction galore: You can get sub two-minute cooldown on Benedizione della Protezione Magica and Scudo Divino, sub one minute cooldown Occhio di Tyr and Fervido Difensore, and even sub three-minute cooldown on Mano Celestiale! This is on top of retaining access to sub two-minute Guardiano dei Re Antichi and one minute Sentinella/Ira Vendicatrice.

Separate Risonanza Divina and Invocazione Accelerata into two separate nodes that can be taken together. With the removal of , Invocazione Accelerata might not be powerful enough to take on its own so being able to combo it with Risonanza Divina for stronger Rintocco Divino could make it more appealing for some situations

Give value to Protection for Benedizione Forgialuce and Tregua del Crociato. Neither work with anything in the Protection kit so we're just not going to take them if things don't change.

Luce Calante will likely need a buff for Protection as the shield will never outvalue spending that point on Sigillo dell'Ordine or even on another talent node all together.

Redesign Punizione so it's not such a blatant DPS increase. Encouraging kicks and interrupting is good for dungeon gameplay but make it more nebulous like movement speed or even cooldown reduction on Predica itself.

Armatura della Fede should be switched to trigger on Parola di Gloria for Protection. This would help align it with the newly buffed Fede nella Luce talent. Getting armor when your primary Holy Power spender gives armor is ... weird. I would also consider moving it up a row. It's currently exceedingly difficult to select as a talent below the 20-point gate.

Sigillo dell'Alacrità has two issues. First, it's increasing the cooldown on Giudizio - not reducing it. The second is that the tooltip is deceptive for Protection. Protection has a 50% reduction to the cooldown of Giudizio on the spec aura, which is modifying the value of cooldown reduction provided by Sigillo dell'Alacrità. It's really giving .25s/.5s reduction for Protection. The tooltip should be fixed to reflect this.

Buff the healing options on the left side of the tree -- Percorso Dorato is very weak, and Immagine Residua has some weird behavior with free procs like Intento Divino. Paladins should have more viable off-healing options in their class tree like Druid's Veglia della Natura or Shaman's Guida Ancestrale and none of the current options hit that mark.

Protection Spec Tree Suggestions

Make Consiglio di Uther playable. This is the hardest talent to include in any build right now for Protection and that's because the tree structure has six required talents after the 20-point gate for difficult content: 1 in Ira Consacrata, 2 in Difensore Risoluto, 1 in Protettore Virtuoso, 1 in Dono della Val'kyr Dorata, and 1 in the Ostilità Concentrata/Scudo Crescente choice node. That leaves 4 points to pick between Occhio di Tyr/Luce Intima, Momento di Gloria, Baluardo della Giusta Furia, Difesa Finale, and Consiglio di Uther. Out of these options, Consiglio di Uther is strictly utility and is a lower priority pick. One solution could be to swap it with Sigillo della Rappresaglia so all the choices below the 20-point gate are pure damage and power increases, while the middle section has some flexibility to opt into utility with some flex points. That said, I could see this being tabled till a future patch as it could require more structural changes to the tree that aren't on the table right now.

Luce dei Titani needs some love. In a lot of cases, it's just overheal and ineffective healing. This is disappointing as it blocks access to Sigillo della Carità, which could be very nice to use.

Reconsider Devozione di Tirion and move it to the class tree. This could be a useful talent for all Paladins, especially if it were in the healing section of the class tree. It could be extremely hard to spend a Protection spec tree point on this talent.

Change Momento di Gloria to 80% cooldown reduction on Avenger's Shield. This is mostly quality of life. All of Protection's abilities have a cooldown that are a multiple of 1.5 and Momento di Gloria messes with that. It creates these micro-gaps in the rotation that are less than a GCD and are very awkward.
